Chambers Walk Closure now in place to 3 December

For the safety of all Park users, the Trust has agreed to remove a selection of large poplar trees that line lower Chambers Walk following assessments by independent arborists, all of which recommend the trees be felled for safety reasons.    

We are aware that the trees provide welcome shade along this well-trodden entrance to the Park, however the safety of Park users is our primary concern. This area will be replanted with natives in the next planting season, mid next year.    

We apologise for the inconvenience this closure will cause. Our arborists will be working as quickly as possible, and we will post updates throughout the week on our social media pages and website. 

Accessing the Park over this time 

Walking tracks: 

• CLOSED > Lower Chambers Walk – from Tauroa carpark to the gate at the start of the Little Redwoods 
• CLOSED > Tipuna Footstep (light green track) 

 Mountain biking tracks: 

• CLOSED > Te Kahika mountain bike track
• CLOSED > the last section of Te Kahu will be closed off with large barriers as you exit the Little Redwoods. Caution signage will be erected on the track well before the barriers.   

Please note: 

• We ask all Park users to strictly adhere to these closures 
• These dates will depend on the progress of our arborists and are subject to change. Please follow us on Facebook for updates. 
• Peak House will be operating as normal throughout this period.
